Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Adriana M.

I really enjoyed this modern re-telling of 'Beauty and the Beast'. I would have given it five stars be it not for the fact that the ending (like most fairy tales) was a bit too tidy and perfect. I thought that the author did an excellent job of modernizing the story to fit today's teens and I was both laughing and feeling very sad and frustrated with Kyle/Adrian. The instant messaging bits every now and then really broke it up well and gave it that extra fairy tale twist with lots of charm. I thought the lesson of inside beauty was portrayed very well without being preachy and I think teens will enjoy the tale of a modern teen werewolf/beast. (I kept picturing him like Michael J. Fox from the teen werewolf movie)
